Celebrating the new year by starting on building out a bootstrap web app codebase from scratch. Just #helloWorld nonsense that supports login, logout, notifications, swipeable galleries and timelines, etc.
I'm abandoning my #openTofu#AI project for the time being, because the stupid cloud provider doesn't support launching cloud GPU via webservice, even though they have cloud #GPU, and even though they have a web API that can launch #VPS and other services.
🎄 All I want for Christmas is: checking off every item in my #VPS setup to do list without breaking anything 🎅
Buying a VPS, installing YunoHost, changing DNS records and installing #GoToSocial was SUPER EASY. These next tasks: not so much, despite all the articles I've been reading and videos I watched. As always, wish me luck!
P.S.: Santa I promise I was good this year
Special thanks to @mkj and @st3fan for the superb recommendations
I wish I had timed how long it took - it was less than 5 minutes! This update comes 2 hours later because I've been dealing with other work stuff in the meantime.
All this to say: a HUGE thank you to the @yunohost team for creating such a phenomenal resource. Donation-as-thank-you coming soon 😊
It’s happening!!! I signed up for a #VPS and I’m about to install #YunoHost. Exciteeeeeeed (and slightly scared).
I’m so early in my #Linux journey but I was emboldened after watching a video walkthrough of YunoHost, with the narrator repeating time and time again « it’s so easy a child could do it ».
Let’s see if « it’s so easy a Linux newbie could do it».
My #VPS where this #Mastodon instance is hosted are running out of space. I want to move the media storage off to a #S3 bucket. It seems simple enough – save for one thing: How do I move the current media files from the VPS to S3?
Can't find any information wether that happens automatically or if that's something I've to do manually. And if the latter – how?
I **really** need a VPS with more storage and RAM that is not Hetzner or netcup, but still has a reasonable/similar pricing and is inside the EU/EEA (this seems so impossible)
- I currently have the Hetzner CAX11 with 2 ARM cores, 4GB RAM and 40GB Storage for 3,92€/month (And I would like to at least double all the specs and maybe even triple the storage...)
Just shut down my last #vps. Going to keep the account going for a while but I've moved almost everything in-house or to third parties handling the hosting for me if I need remote access. I used to be really heavily into control of my services but these days I'm more on the balance and backups train.
Does anyone know of anyone offering managed Forgejo hosting?
(I don’t mean Codeberg. All my stuff is already on Codeberg. I mean where I could have my own VPS running Forgejo just for our own projects but where I wouldn’t have to deal with managing yet another server.)
@clacke The instance closes 2024-04-16. Primary reason is that the annual #VPS hosting payment is due and I cannot pay it. But upgrade and disk space are secondary but still important reasons.
This is going to be the first time in many years that I'm not hosting anything.
Looks like Vultr has it but it’s too expensive. We’d have to charge at least €25/mo instead of ~€10/mo for a Small Web site with Hetzner to make the same ~€5/mo to try and make Small Technology Foundation sustainable.
And I really want Small Web sites to be affordable so folks can experiment and play with them.
- Setting up a server and then installing CoreOS is out of the question. Small Web sites have to be set up in under a minute.
- Must be affordable. We need to be sustainable while not charging more than €10/mo.)
Right now, it seems I’ll have to go with Ubuntu although I really don’t want to as I want the rpm-ostree auto-updates in CoreOS to make the sites zero admin as possible.)
Right, I’m back to focussing on Domain* now that another round of dev is complete on Kitten** and, two years after I originally asked the question: does anyone know of a comparable service to Hetzner Cloud (API, affordable, very quick server setup, VPS) that supports CoreOS?
I still can’t find any. And my attempts to get Hetzner to support it have failed (mostly due to lack of interest on Fedora’s side) 🤷♂️
